Solar Fountain with Panel Water Pump for Bird Bath Solar Panel Kit Outdoor Fountain for Outdoor Small Pond, Patio Garden and Fish Tank

I like the power but for my bird baths, I have two bird baths like this https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0D36P14FR/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 which are both fairly big, and the fountain using the included jet attachments is to powerful even for my large bath. The splashing water loses too much and it would not last a day saw I took my drill and drilled through the holes to make them bigger, had to keep trying till I was surprised at how large I had to drill them as this thing is that powerful. There are alternative, the power diminishes significantly if you cover any of the solar cell so I could have just put some water proof tape on the cell to reduce the height of the jets but I like fine tuning the output pressure to my own baths. Anyway, I've had one for over a year but I broke the connector the other day and bought a third just after I set up the second bath. I keep a sponge close by and wipe it down every few days or sooner if needed, the pump needs wiped down also, to keep the bath free of algae, dirt and debris and you should not use anything but water to clean it. Birds are old dinosaurs and are sensitive to chemicals. A bird bath is a lot easier to keep clean, fresh water everyday and regular cleaning will keep healthy birds coming back. Very beneficial and less messy than feeding birds, which may not be a good idea anyways, but fresh water is always needed and welcome.

This is NOT a paid review!!This little fountain is awesome!My test to see how well it worked:I attached the tip I wanted, suctioned it to a bread pan, filled with water (covering the pump but not the tip) and the minute I stepped outside to try it the water started to spray.My findings:A) If the sun hides behind a cloud or a panel is covered (I did with my finger to test) it stops but as soon as the panel is back in full exposure this bad boy kicks up again.B) It does drain your pan of water pretty quickly unless it's set up in a wide enough base to continually recycle through, a birdbath would be perfect size to prevent the pump being out of water - which will destroy it.C) Plus, it's solar so not adding to a bill or wasting resources (the water will be drunk by the cats~ this will give it flow)So worth it, going to buy another! It looks so cool, I can't wait for the little area I bought it for to be set up. My kitten is a weirdo and loves it when the water sprays up as I'm filling the water bowl, she's going to love it!Edit 3.13.20: my outside area is set up. Today I submerged the pump in about a foot of water. It's giving perfect flow to keep the water fresh for my cats. I'll eventually build a better (as in actual) fountain but for now it's pretty dang perfect!Edit: 6.4.20 One of my units stopped working. I cleaned the area it was in, making sure the pump had no chance of running when out of water. I put everything back together and nothing. I reached out to CS to see if thry had any suggestions. Before they had an opportunity to respond I decided to take a wet cloth to the solar panel (I wipe in down every couple of days from the dust build up in my area) and it immediately started up again. This was about 4 weeks ago. Still pumping strong!

Here are my major take aways after setting up this fountain. I have not been paid or offered gift card.1. When solar panel is in the sun, the fountain is pretty strong and runs very well - the sun has to hit the panel. If any shade hits it, the motor will weaken and "pulse" as some reviews mentioned. So you have to find a place that will consistently get full sun throughout the day. Cannot stress this enough. It is not like solar lights where it conserves and runs on a solar battery (I think because a water pump requires much more energy))2. The cord was not long enough for me - you may want to order an extension. Because the panel needs full sun, and I don't want my bird bath directly in the sun - I will need an extension cord - in order to place the panel where I need it, and somewhat hide the cord and not having it dangle midair. This is why I docked a star. The extension cord was another $16 dollars - and the sum is probably more than what I would have liked to spend to get it set up properlyIf I had an outlet outside, I wouldn't waste my time with this - however, if, like me, an outdoor outlet isn't available - this works pretty nicely, although not perfect, and like I said, you will probably want an extension cord, and you will end up spending close to $35 total, which IMO seems a lot for this device..

The media could not be loaded. Great little solar powered pump! The pump is tiny (@2×2) but powerful enough to move water up a 36" copper pipe to top of a cascading fountain. The pump must be submerged at all times of operation and operates silently. The solar panel is connected with a 9'cord so it can be moved into the sunlight. (Direct sunlight is needed to operate and the pump does turn off if a cloud passes or area of the solar panel becomes shaded, but it starts right up again when the sun shines on it!) It's perfect for my use. Very happy with this purchase🌞

Used the solar pump for small garden fountain. Unit works perfectly.
